Export to pdf using ASP.NET 5

Question

I am working on MVC 6 application(DNX Core 5.0 framework). Unfortunately, I don\'t find any library for pdf export.

Any help will be appreciated.

Necromancing.

Adding a dependency to NodeJS is subideal IMHO, especially considering .NET Core self-contained deployment.

As per 2017, you could use my port of PdfSharpCore to .NET Core 1.1
Resolves fonts, and it can use images. Comes with a nice sample application. You'll have to replace the DB part, however.

Credits go to:
https://github.com/groege/PdfSharpCore

which is a bit outdated, and doesn't contain a sample on how to use it with images.

Note that you need to register the font-resolver and the imageSource-Implementation before using the respective features:

PdfSharpCore.Fonts.GlobalFontSettings.FontResolver = new FontResolver();

MigraDocCore.DocumentObjectModel.MigraDoc.DocumentObjectModel
    .Shapes.ImageSource.ImageSourceImpl = 
          new PdfSharpCore.ImageSharp.ImageSharpImageSource();
